I posted a request for help on a Med. Coll. on June 29th. They sent back a letter. I am in Cailf. and the SOL is past. The date of service was 11/1995. The letter shows a bal. due of $425.79. They contacted the dentist who said that "due to the length of time since service, paper documentation has been placed into off-site storage." And there "is a charge of $25.00 per hour should you desire retrieval & copy of this documentation. With a minimum charge of $25.00." They also quote the FDCPA, saying my request must be made with 30 days. "Even though the 30-day period has long since passed, out client is willing to provide you with validation of said debt upon payment for their time in retrieving this information." They also mention that three partial payments were made against this debt, 3/97, 4/97, and 10/98. And they "presume that you had no previous dispute with the balance or you would not have made these partial payments." They also mention that unless they hear from us they "will calendar our files ahead 30-days awaiting your payment of $425.97 or we will proceed with normal collection procedures." This is addressed to my DH, whose report this is on. I was the one who received the service, and made the partial payments, he never did. Do I reply to this? and wait the 30 days, then dispute with the CRA's as NOT MINE and Never saw this dentist on this date. Thanks.
